R Sport induction kit
Hi everyone,
First post here so dont rip me to shreads for this :P
I have bought myself a 2007 R Sport and I am looking to fit the K&N 57i filter. Due to the limited time this model was produced there isn't a specific filter for it however I was wondering if anyone else had one and got a filter somewhere?
I was looking at the sport induction kit (http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/pr...x?Prod=57-0646)
It fits into the physical space looking at the fitting instructions however I am unsure if the MAF is in the same place.
If anyone has any furthur knowledge in this area then your help would be appreciated, or if you have a sport model with the K7N fitted then some pictures might help.
Thanks in advance for the help, I've found the forum really helpful so far but mostly for you turbo boys !! :P

To answer my own question here, the MAF sensor is different on the sport and R Sport models. The r sport MAF is the same as on the turbo. Therefore to get a K&N for the R sport the link pipe for the MAF from the turbo K&N kit is needed as well as the sport k&n. This leads me on to my next question.....anyone know where to get spares for K&N kits?

I ended up making a support in a CAD package then having it 3d printed. Before i done that I just got the 57i kit from k and n for the sport models and cut a hole in the tubing and sealed the sensor in with silicon and seemed to work ok.
